My Times Are In Thy Hand

My times are in Thy hand;
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends. my soul I leave
Entirely to Thy care.

My times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee

My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, the Crucified!
Those hands my cruel sins had pierced
Are now my guard and guide.

My times are in Thy hand,
I'll always trust in thee;
And, after death, at Thy right hand
I shall forever be.

----William F. Floyd
